1) What is Handy Mail ListServer
--------------------------------
Handy Mail ListServer is a software that automates mailing lists and archives.
Users may add themselves to mailing lists supported by ListServer, post messages,
review the members of a list, etc. The software also maintains hierarchical
archives of files that users may get.
2) How do I use the ListServer
------------------------------
All users interact with ListServer by email. ListServer understands a very
limited set of requests and expects a fixed syntax for each one of those. Users
send email to listserver when they wish to have a request processed. If
users want to send a message to a mailing list, they email to list-name@address
instead.
3) Regular users
------------------
Usually, the first thing that a regular user will want to do is find out which
lists are available for subscription. User should then send email to listserver
with a 'lists' request in the body of the message.
Suppose the listserver has a list called 'fun', user can then subscribes to it
by sending another email to listserver with the following request:
subscribe fun <User Name>
where <User Name> is the full name of the user.
Once subscribed, user may send messages to fun@address. User may remove himself
from that list later on by issuing a:
unsubscribe fun
request to listserver.
For extensive information on all requests, listserver accepts requests
like 'help [topic]' where 'topic' is a request.
4) Archives
-----------
Each mailing list may automatically archived messages. This can be
useful for newcomers who want to catch up with the discussion.
(Archives feature has not yet fully implemented. Will be completed on next release.)
